bravenewworld | Twelfth Dream: Mankeyshines and Snapshots [Action/Video]

Video:

[A new year, and a whole mixed bag of revelations and resolutions are weighing on Yuuna. It's been a while since she made any formal broadcasts, and seated in Ranger HQ, she idly flips on the Warp Band and just starts talking.]

Hey everyone. Got a little bit new news, personal stuff. Figured I'd just announce it all at once. First of all, I got a promotion. I'm the 3rd Division leader now. My old one retired, and I got some recognition for past service. So, I'll probably be around Union a little bit more than usual. Heh. Paperwork.

Moreover, I've been named the Ranger Liason to the Seekers. Most of you can imagine why.

[She smiles wryly, knowing certain parties are going to like that.]

Second, given my new job, I'm supposed to officially announce that my division is officially recruiting. We pay alright, and you'd be working directly for me. If you're interested, or have further questions about the Rangers in general, feel free to stop by HQ. I'll be around late.

Ranger HQ:

[And true to her word? She is. If you have questions that won't work over the Warp Band, Yuuna will be there until dusk.]

Action, Apartment:

[And after hearing this particular announcement, a certain Pokemon of hers is up to no good. Turnip, the Monferno, is so excited by hearing about the promotion that he decides to bake a cake or something.

Something is right, because he's completely incapable of cooking, and it's not long before a billowing cloud of smoke pours out of Yuuna and Merrill's apartment and the Pokemon are forced out into the street. Alarms go off, and the Monferno bolts for it on principle. The fire is dealt with pretty quickly by Uzushio, but the smoke seems to linger somehow...creating quite the scene outside as a panicked Monferno runs back and forth in confusion, grabbing random passersby and gesticulating wildly, jabbering away. Help! Help! The boss is going to kill himmmmm!]

And boots.

[Suited and booted, out they go towards the bank, arm in arm.]

Merrill dear, where have you gotten money that I didn't give you? Just...out of curiosity.

Oh, yes! Vhen'alas is very good at finding shiny little stones and bringing them home.

Ah. So that's where. I'd wondered, honestly. You never had trouble with food, but...

[Well sweetie, you're roughspun.]

You were living in bad conditions before you moved in.

Camping out in the woods wasn't so bad.

[Except when it rained.]

No, your home in Union...

Oh... yes.

[It's hard to make that place seem nice.]

Well, it was cozy. And there were always lots of exciting things happening outside.

[In other words, it was barely two rooms and in a bad part of town.]

That's true. But it was not like our home, was it?

[Since...they have a home and not a hole in the wall.]

No. It was much... breezier, there.

[Owing to the actual hole in the wall.]

I'm glad you never had to spend a real winter there then.

[Because of the hole in the wall and all...]

It's all right. Flametongue was very warm.

[Fire types for the win.]

Yes, but I'm still glad you're my bed-warmer. And that I can keep you warm too.

[Without holes in walls, lots of blankets, and maybe a little static here and there.]

Okay. Now here is the bank.

[Heading inside, talking to clerk...and getting a statement...with a fairly large amount on it.]

You see? You do get paid...

...Oh.

[Merrill looks at the piece of paper, blinking.]

That's quite a large number, isn't it?

Yes. It's almost two years worth of wages. And hazard pay.

What should I do with it? I've never had that much money in my life. Or that much of anything, really.

I don't know. Is there anything you want? I mean...you can afford it now. Clothes, a favorite food, I dunno...

...I can't think of anything. But I should spend it on something shouldn't I?

Maybe not all at once...but yes. You should get something nice.

I'll have to think about what.

Just...Impulse buy something sometime. It's not like you can't afford it.

Maybe some new clothes...

Yes, I think that might be good. Your old ones are getting a little threadbare.

[But...]

I mean, they're nice, well made but definitely worn.

Oh! And a new pair of boots, too. Since it's starting to snow now.

Oh undoubtedly. We're both pretty rough on boots.

And a nice warm pair of socks to wear with them.

Right!

And since we're in the shopping district...let's go ahead and start picking things out. And hit the grocery store.

[Call it there and focus on the meme and event prep?]
